Friendly service and ample seating! Always love stopping by for a sweet pick me up. I really enjoy the iced grass jelly signature, with the mochi balls and creamer. A personal favorite of mine! read more

Hit this place twice on my visit and ordered the shaved ice w/mochi and the fruit berry/mango the second time. I think after the second time it lost the bezzle for me. Great place to share a dessert and kickback for a casual meetup, young crowd. Loved the mochi vanilla, almond jelly piled high shaved ice dessert. Plenty of mall parking. read more

Taiwanese desserts. Decently sized desserts that are more likely to be shared with someone else. If you feel up to it, size it up to the large and see if you can tackle it one on one. Bubble tea was pretty good. Tucked away on the ground floor ( as of this writing, near the ABC Store). Good place to escape the heat for a bit. read more

Always eat in. The portion sizes are amazing and the flavor is superb ! Highly recommend for a hot day or after dinner snack !

Nice and clean space. But next time wouldn't order their shave ice. Will have to try their soupy dessert. This is just regular shaved ice and pouring the syrup on it. And also can feel the crushed ice little chunky. Egg waffle strong flour smell. read more

Absolutely adore this place. I always come and get the same thing the q mochi + pudding milk shaved ice paired with an original egg waffle. Totally hits the spot when you want something yummy and sweet. The shaved ice is milked based, it's just the right amount of sweet with the mochi and pudding. The egg waffle comes out nice and hot, so so good when you're having it with the shaved ice. Portion size is fairly big for a medium, three people can share comfortably. I like that they're open later than the mall too! They close at 10pm, perfect for those late night sweets cravings. I had to write this review because the owner was so sweet to make me another waffle after my clumsy ass dropped the one I purchased. Staff is very friendly here. You won't be disappointed. Come have a taste! read more

Will never forget this place. Worst food poisoning I've ever had in my life avoid like the plague.

This is my first time to walk in the store I really enjoy the ice cream there. It was a lots of people!! It was worth waiting in line!! People who work there. They are very nice. Very friendly. Very Humble!!! I will go there tomorrow again read more

Tried the strawberry milk shave ice, which was flavorful--the ice was of a consistency in between regular shave ice and bingsu. Pretty large portion for the size medium, and the shave ice was prepared in a relatively short period of time. Would come again. read more

Really wanted to love this place but doesn't live up to the hype unfortunately, in my opinion. I do however like the self ordering machine that they have which makes it convenient. It was my first time here and I ordered an egg waffle for a snack and also the Black sugar milk tea. The milk tea was very pale in color looked like it was 90% milk and tasted 90% like milk with just the boba balls which was disappointing. The egg waffle tasted stale and not as fluffy as i have had from other places. read more

Very very yummy, just super pricy. Might be a special occasion kind of place, but I will definitely be back to try some other desserts. My hubby and I shared a Mangoberry shave ice. It was delicious. Just wish it didn't cost $20!! read more

We came for dessert to chat with friends and family. It was a little packed and crowded and was kinda busy at around 8:30pm. We walked back at around 9:00pm and we were so happy to stick around. Our service was great! We got seated by the corner of the cafe and there was free ice water provided while we waited for our dessert to be made. I can't speak for our visiting friend, but by the look of his expression I could tell he enjoyed his boba tea and egg waffle. My bf and I really enjoyed the Tiger Boba Shave Ice, very refreshing and delicious and is plenty to share because we both couldn't finish it. My daughter loved her Chocolate Deluxe and mentioned the chocolate egg waffle was so delicious because it had chocolate cream inside, she finished it all! Overall experience was great! The ambiance was good. I look forward to my next visit! read more

I'm so excited to see a place dedicated to Taiwanese desserts! The icy taro ball signature was the perfect way to cool off after walking around Ala Moana. Overall, it wasn't too sweet (aka perfection). Loved the taro paste. The shave ice dishes may be a little big for one person so keep that in mind. The toppings are filling! But I am already looking forward to my next visit. read more

If I could do any less star I would. I have been to Meet Fresh in at least three different states but this time it ends up a big disappointment . I ordered pudding milk tea and mango shaved ice, which I always ordered every time I visit Meet Fresh. But here, the color of the milk tea already looked different when I picked up my order at the counter (usually it is much brighter milky color, here it looks brownish and orangey.) Milk tea tasted bitter and powdery,I went back to the counter to ask why the milk tea tasted so different and they just said they had one kind of milk tea and that's it. The mango shaved ice was served as mango flavor poured over crushed ice, mango was too ripe it turned black. We just ate the ice cream on top and waited for the ice to melt to pretty much, swallow the flavored ice... I really don't understand. It's a franchise, it should be the same product and same recipe, how could it be so different in taste in such a negative way. read more

Overall Experience: 3 Food: 3 Service: 4 (mostly self serve) Atmosphere: 4 Value: 4 Pros: this place is open late which is always nice! Cons: I personally do not like their chunky ice making their desserts not as favorable for me. Also, the place always seems to be packed making it hard to get a table. The wait for them to make your food is also a bit long since they're always so busy. Overall: I'd personally rather go to another dessert place. read more

Yummy desserts and efficient order and pick up system. The only complaint I have is it was so cold in there. Eating my giant shave ice in a freezing place made it somewhat uncomfortable. I should have brought a jacket. read more

I was pretty excited to try this place as I was told it was a pretty good chain of Taiwanese desserts. And from growing up with these specific desserts, I was dying to try it. The positives of this place is that its in a pretty convenient place - In the mall with loads of parking - and they are open late, so if you're ever craving a dessert (Warm or cold) this is your place. Once you enter you have two options: There's a self ordering machine on your right, or if you have questions you can go to the main register and ask the workers. My friends and I decided to go to the self ordering machine, which was relatively quick and simple. Was a bit disappointed when they were out of mango during the time we went, but instead we got the Strawberry shave ice with vanilla ice cream, and the Q Mochi Milk Shave Ice. The portions are pretty big and were able to serve 2-3 people. The shave ice I shared was the Q mochi Milk, which was okay. The presentation of the desserts were pretty good, but the shave ice we had no flavoring. Most of the time it just felt like we were chewing on ice, and most of the taste came from the vanilla ice cream on the top. The mochi and pudding around it were also okay. I kinda wish we tried the Strawberry shave ice or the mango (Hopefully they will be in by then). All in all, this place is good for hanging out with friends late at night. Or if you want to relax on a hot day. I'm not quite sure how the drinks are but I heard it is also a hit or miss. I would try and work down the menu! read more

You'll find them on the street level, next to Surfer Bakery & Starbucks on the Post Office side. We went on weekend, line wasn't to long when we arrived, but please be careful. When you walk-in, the "doormat" area has like a 2'x3' carpet that leads to raw edged tile. So when I walked in and tripped over it almost falling onto a lady with her baby. So dangerous!!! That was the first red flag. Second red flag - I ordered form the self ordering kiosk, that had a delay when taping the screen. Then when checkin out on the kiosk the key pad was really low making it awkward when responding to the screen. Im 5'2" and it was by my waist area. But I did order a total of 3 drinks. - Fluffy Green Tea - Black Sugar Boba Fresh Milk Tea - Milk Tea with Red Beans Third red flag - they called our number and when I went up thinking our drinks were quickly made, to be told "we don't Fluffy Green Tea" and with the worker giving me body language like "oh well and pick something else" instead of handing me a menu to select I walked over to the front and proceeded to look, not knowing what is good...but I went with another "favorite" (based on the star next to it) so I asked if I could get the "Fluffy Mini Q Winter Melon Tea" and was said by the same worker "We don't have that either" so I proceeded to look again and asked what else is good and I get no response. I understand that it was a 2 man show making drinks, but again you are working here! So I said could I get the "Pudding Milk Tea" and he said "we don't have that either" so I asked "what do you have?" He said we have everything but those (with attitude). I did recommend that they remove it off their menu on the kiosk because its there to be ordered and I would hate for someone to have go through what I went through. Over all drinks, not a fan. But their Signature Series looks more promising. I just think that if you're making drinks that are favorites in the menu, shouldn't you over order on those ingredients? I get it you just opened. But you're opening up in Hawaii, and they should already know that the hype here is intense! Next time I'll try one the their Signature Series & maybe it may change my review....but until then, don't see see us coming back anytime soon. read more

Pretty disappointed. I thought it's gonna be fast since nothing needs to be cooked or anything. You just have to put everything in a bowl and it wasn't even busy. But it took them almost 30 minutes to make this two I ordered. After 10 minutes, I took a look at the workers there, it seems like they are so taking their time, slowing making customers' orders. There were even two or three of them doing nothing. The tastes was ok but the wait was not worth it. read more

Really liked the almond QT cup and the caramel QT cup. The hot almond soup with the mochi balls is also really good!

Taste was Meh Not good as where I tried before. Workers seem not to know Wht they are doing Sure need more training to go. They sure need a microphone with their voice it's just too soft, some people didn't even know if they were being called read more

Waited almost 40 minutes for a single taro signature bowl. Small golf-ball sized scoop of taro paste, some boba and mochi over coarsely shaved ice for $10. Workers were slow with disgruntled attitude. No sense of urgency whatsoever, despite a large crowd of people waiting for their orders. Think of any other dessert place you've been to and go there instead... DO NOT WASTE YOUR TIME AND MONEY HERE!! read more

Meet Fresh - Great combinations!!! - Bubble Tea Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

Taiwanese dessert is actually one of my favorite foods EVER. After seeing this shop open, it took me back when I visited Taiwan and ordered these same type of desserts along the streets of Taipei. At Meet Fresh, I got their taro combo B which includes taro, taro balls, boba, red bean, shaved iced. Sadly, the dessert was very mildly sweet. I hate overly sweet desserts, but this dessert was extremely light handed in the brown sugar or sweetener that covered the shaved ice. Parts of the shaved ice was not even sweetened so we were just eating plain ice. I did not pay money to eat ice! The positive is the best part of the dessert was the taro chunks, absolutely loved that. The shop is near the Ala Moana post office on the ground floor. I would check it out again to try other items or maybe after a few months of adjusting to the local market. The have several seating and good set up in ordering, pick up, and turning in dishes. You can take out or eat there. read more

Decided to try this new boba spot in Ala Moana after work. I ordered the taro paste fresh milk tea and my boyfriend got the miniQ winter melon tea. I was pleasantly surprised by how much I enjoyed the miniQ wintermelon tea, I wasn't as much of a fan of my fresh milk tea. It didn't seem like it had much taste but if you're into drinks that aren't sweet it might be something worth trying. The taro paste however was delicious and had a good taste. I look forward to coming back and trying their shaved ice desserts! read more

First time here for dessert last night. After a hearty Dim sum lunch at a nearby restaurant, light and refreshing was on the order. Service was fast, courteous, and respectful. I had the passion fruit almond cup. IT WAS AWESOME! Chill enough to refresh but not feel overwhelming. Real passion fruit arils complimented the sherbet layer and mochi and grass jelly toppings. At the bottom of the cup the cool creamy almond gel/pudding smoothed all the mild acidity of the upper layers. This establishment is casual. There were a few gen Z on laptops, a few couples sharing the larger full sized bowls. Maybe a bit cold and stark, but hey, the warmth comes from the people you are with. I'd go back, sooner than later! read more

Meet Fresh, located next to Surfers Bakery at Ala Moana! Cute little asian dessert place -- lots of seating for everybody to dine in. My friends and I decided to give this place a try bc we are absolute suckers for any new dessert places!! Now onto the desserts and drinks they offer. Really liked the idea of them having water nearby for everybody, because the sweetness does get overwhelming so that's nice of them to do. We ordered the shave ice the one that's with custard and mochi, I liked the consistency of the shave ice and the milk flavor was good. And their mochis were quite delicious as well! Soft and chewy. But, the custard flan and the other custard that was offered wasn't the best :/ My other friend ordered their waffle ice cream -- she enjoyed it, but for the amount that was given.. I'd say the price is pretty steep. Double three offers a lot more for about the same price. Drinks were alright, I'd pass on the drinks and just stick to their desserts! Unfortunately, they did get our shave ice wrong (they forgot the custard). My jasmine green milk tea had no tea, but they were pretty nice about fixing both orders. That I really appreciate because some places make it such a big deal about wrong orders. We also found a fly on the ice cream of our shave ice-- we were to shy to send it back but it's okay we scooped the fly out. No big deal. But we understand all the mishaps because this place is in fact fairly new!! Despite of all the mistakes -- the staff are super accommodating and friendly!! Worth the try :) read more
